Call for bids to host the Applied Nuclear Physics Conference 2027 (ANP 2027)

The board of the Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) is seeking candidates to host the third edition of the Applied Nuclear Physics (ANP) Conference, after the successful editions held in Prague in September 2021 and in Thessaloniki in September 2024.

This triennial conference has sections specifically devoted to themes such as energy, health, space, security, environment, material science, preservation and study of cultural heritage. The ANP conference belongs to the series of NPD divisional conferences, comprising the European Nuclear Physics Conference (EuNPC) and the Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics (NPA) Conference.

The application material should include:

-              the approximate dates when it is planned to hold the conference, expected in 2027

-               the description of the proposed location and venue,

-              the description of the participating Universities and Laboratories,

-              the projected costs,

-              the expected financial supports,

-              the anticipated sponsorship from Universities/Laboratories/Industries,

-              the support for students and early career researchers, and

-              the foreseen approximate conference fees.

The bid should also provide the list of members composing the Local Organizing Committee.

As the ANPC conference is part of the series organized by the Nuclear Physics Division:

• a reduced fee for EPS members should be considered
• a contribution of €25 per participant is expected to be provided to the NPD board
• a certain number of NPD board members should be included in the Scientific Advisory Committee.

In the case of proceedings, it is strongly recommended to select those appearing on a referred journal. The procedure should be defined in advance, and the proceedings must be accessible to all conference speakers.

The conference could apply to be recognized as an EPS conference and may also request an EPS poster prize and/or a grant for early-career researchers.

The deadline to submit the application material to the Scientific Secretary of the NPD board (Raquel Crespo, raquel.crespo@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) is January 15^th, 2026.

The candidates will be invited to present their proposal at the NPD board online meeting in January, 2026, when the selection of the ANP 2027 conference will be made.
